fin 'the drawings forming e port of 'this :application and in which iilre designating ehorocters to corresponding; ports throughout the several vievvsz-Fignre l is iront elevation of the device partially shown in verticoi transverse section. Fig. is o vertioei sectional view thereof teken upon line of Fig. S is ton pion view of the seine, and, "Fig, i is on enlnrged sectional detail view of the edjeoent edffes of the bottom doors when closed.

The present device being designed for the recep'eion or refuse, the saine includes o re oeptoele or receiving easing 1G here illus tinted substantially ouloiei in form having oli-set supporting legs il positioned adjacent each of the four lower corners thereof, side handles j being; provided for moving' ihe device when found desirable.

A receiving' hopper 13 is arranged upon the top lll of the easing' l0 having a forwardly positioned open side or doorvvay l5 normally closed by ineens of s swinging' 'door' i6 pivoted as at 17 kto the seid hopper et the upper edge of the door. Closing springs i8 are provided sultehly tensioned between the inner ieee of the door i6 and '10, the door i6 is pushed inwardly against the eetion of the springsl@ whereby the matter inserted 'through the door opening' L5 felle into the easing 10 through the openingy 21 in the top thereof.

Trap doors 22 constitute the bottoni oi the casing 10 loeing hinged as et 23 to the opposite wells thereof, the oiiset portions of the legs ll allowing the swinging; doors 22 to move to their open positions substantially vertically arranged as illustrated hy dotted lines in Fig. l. A rubber binding strip 25 is carried by the inner edges oir each of the doors 22 adopted for contacting eseh other when the doors are closed `forming an oir-tight joint between the doors es Well as assisting' in preventing any escape of odors from the casino l0.

A tube 26 is mounted upon the casing top i4 slightly inclined rearwardly through which en operating screw 27 freely extends, o turn not 28 being threaded upon the outer end of the screw 27 and 'bearing against the outerend of ehe tnhe 26 whereby the said screw is fed outwardly and inwardlyV as required. An operating' handle 29 is provided upon the nut 28 While the screw 27 hes its inner end projecting thron h on opening 30 in the casing top le. A dexihle connector such as o cord 3i connects each of the doors 22 with o ring 32 :it the inner end of the screw 27.

The operation of the doors 22 it will he understood is controlled hy means of the screw 27 which is normally held projected hy means of the nut 28 with the Cords 3i in their tout positions, the doors 22 being on ranged horizontally in o position. to support the entire contents of the easing l0. Upon turning the nut 28 in the desired direction, the screw 27 is lowered allowing the Weight of the doors 22 :is Well as the refuse positioned thereon to forcibly open the said hoo ioni doors7 allowing the contents of the casing l0 to pass outwardly through the bottom of the/casing' to be removed in any Inanner desirable.

lt will be "understood that the device when 7 filled may be readily carried by means of its handles 12 to a, convenient location 'for dumping whereupon the :loom 2L may be openel and me contents or rho easing 'l0 remo l after which the device muy be re-- turned to its; original location for fur-Eher use.

What l claim as new is l.
